Every one of these accounts uses the exact same naming scheme, created a sandbox page with the edit summary "removed blank", then made another edit to that sandbox. Every one of them also created their sandbox within the same 15 minute time period on March 13th, 2020. Probably a bunch of sleeper socks. are the diffs supporting these allegations.

 * Technically AloofDoughnut8 is the alleged sockpuppeteer here as they created the page first but I was sorting by oldest when doing New Page Patrol which is why I accidentally put JoyfulVenison6 as the first account. In addition, AloofDoughnut8 and PluckyLocust8 have both made edits attempting to "remove Chimnoy", see and . Chess (talk) Ping when replying 05:09, 10 April 2020 (UTC)



Same username template without the number. Also made the same exact sandbox edits as the other suspected socks. See and. Chess (talk) Ping when replying 05:14, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

 * - Could a CU please take a look at this specifically for any other accounts as this doesn't seem like the actions of someone new to Wikipedia. Possibly also look at whether this might be an editathon or school. See also the edit summary in these two edits 1 and 2. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:28, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I blocked a lot on CU, and everything is covered on this page, so and not reporting. I will be clear there is evidence this is automated, and they are using a mobile IP range to do it, so they will be back. --  Amanda  (aka DQ) 11:04, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
